CBUS Ambassadors are connecting with future students across Colorado, one conversation at a time
April 2, 2026
The College of Business is hitting the road in a new and exciting way this semester, launching a new outreach initiative that brings a taste of campus directly to future students: Pizza with Ambassadors.
Designed to create meaningful, low-pressure connections, this initiative sends CBUS Ambassadors into local high schools to share pizza and real conversations about life at MSU Denver and within the College of Business. It’s a chance for prospective students to ask questions, hear firsthand experiences, and start envisioning themselves as future Roadrunners.
The first stop took place at Prairie View High School, where CBUS Ambassadors Renz Axalan and Leslie Gomez connected with 45 students during an hour-long session. What started with pizza quickly turned into an engaging and insightful conversation.
Students asked thoughtful questions about what daily life looks like as a College of Business student, and Renz and Leslie shared their personal experiences balancing coursework, getting involved on campus, and building connections. The conversation also covered opportunities to join clubs and organizations, helping students understand how they can find their community at MSU Denver.
Flexibility was another key topic, with students showing strong interest in the different class modalities available, including fully online, in-person, and hybrid options. Scholarships and financial support also sparked important questions, opening the door for helpful guidance and resources.
“My students really appreciated the time your students spent with them on March 13. My students recommended that this be an annual event each fall so hopefully we can plan that. Students commented that they liked the personal experiences your students shared and that each of the students who were present were pursuing not just a different degree option but also a different methodology in learning (in person, online, etc).
Thank you for giving us the gift of their time. I look forward to building on this new (renewed) partnership with MSU Denver.”
Pizza with Ambassadors is all about creating approachable, honest conversations that help students feel more confident about their college journey.
And this is just the beginning. With more school visits ahead, CBUS Ambassadors are looking forward to continuing these conversations and expanding their impact across the community.
Support comes from MSU Denver’s College of Business, offering flexible programs with real‑world projects and support. Committed to empowering graduates to lead, solve, and inspire.
